If you have any spare cash at all, please consider hiring a bit of help. Stay at home motherhood can be terribly isolating. There is no award at the end of motherhood for having the least help (paid or unpaid).

Having a regular sitter so you can get out and exercise, see friends, catch a movie or do whatever makes you happy will benefit your entire family.

I believe strongly that happy moms make happy kids.Good luck and hang in there!

I could have written many of these bullet points myself. It so hard to deal
With the “what now” aspect of life after IF. It takes up
Such room, it’s as if it has it’s own corner in the post birth let down of defenses.
I wish we’re closer–I’d behappyto drop in and hold your wee babe and give you a good laugh and a break. ((((hugs))))

It sounds like you are in a good place and you have accomplished some wonderful things. The sleep and the lifting fog of newborn-ness will bring your energy and patience to accomplish some of your wishes, I think that the self-awareness and insight that allows you to recognise these things help you to be a good mother, we all wish we were better at times but I’m guessing that when you’re through that 4th trimester you will be unstoppable.x
